Hey there, you got kicked out of the last Harry Potter thread for being negative, please don’t come here to ruin another thread.
We can enjoy Harry Potter for what is, and ignore the toxic cancel culture. JKR has some views that don’t align with yours, and many people. I don’t agree with everything she’s said either. But that doesn’t invalidate her views and personal experience, just as she can not invalidate yours.
I’ve just re-read some of her tweets to refresh myself on the matter. The initial jab was uncalled for, but the following statements were all valid opinions.
Don’t let someone who you dislike drag you down in life, and don’t spread negative comments randomly. If you don’t like JKR or HP that’s fine, but there’s no need to accuse people of being of Nazis. Looking breifly at your history, there’s a lot of negative comments on everything. I suggest you unsub from the political ragebait hate circles and filter out everything else you dislike. Make your Lemmy feed a happy place to doom scroll.
No one here, not even JKR, has ever called for the mass extermination of transgender people. Calling random Harry Potter fans Nazis is an absolute insult to every single victim of the Holocaust.
Edit, one of your first comments was calling for WW3 to exterminate Americans. That sounds like extreme violence to me, and your calling people who still like a children’s book a Nazi?
Are you forgetting the time JK Rowling accused Olympic women’s boxing champion Imane Khelif of being a man, because she isn’t white? I think there’s no excuse for racist and misogynist comments like that. I do believe Rowling was being sincere in her opinions of Imane. The problem is that Rowling genuinely cannot tell Algerian women from men, and yet still insists on subjecting the world to her opinion.
She mistook a woman for a man, it happens more often than you’d think. Yes, she should stay out of it, or at least did some minimum research on the woman first.
Hopefully she apologized, and everyone actually involved moved on. Empathy is an important emotion, but like all emotions, it needs to be regulated. This 3rd party victimhood is unhealthy.
As I said, I don’t agree with a lot of whats she’s said, but it’s not like she’s not calling for mass violence against a group of people unlike a certain Genius’ first few posts here. Reflect a bit, who the one acting like a Nazi here? GTFO.
She didn’t. Imane had to make a criminal complaint to the French authorities for harassment. Rowling isn’t sorry.
Rowling’s political views ARE relevant to UK laws which affect trans people’s lives. Labour sought a meeting with Rowling to discuss their new gender transition policy last year. Rowling demanded that Labour speak with various other groups she listed before she would meet with them, including the transphobic “LGB Alliance”. She is exerting political power on the government of the United Kingdom to pursue a transphobic agenda with real consequences.
